Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

Looking to the future


This season so far has brought much to light. We don't have a championship defense and in truth the offense is closer then then the D yes we don't have a @1 reciever but the QB, O-line and running game is there and we have the complimentary recievers IF we have that stud. On defense even with JT here just falters far to much and doesn't generate even close to the consistant rush we need. Now there are pieces on D the 2 rookie corners plus Jones in the nichol and 4 young D-ends to rotate throughout the game, a backiup NT, a potential FS in Clemons and well Bell is here for a couple years. The wilson experiment didn't work and he should be released next yr(assumming it is a uncapped yr as expected)

 

What has disapponited me the most has been the play calling and not just the individual plays but in general. We are a run first team that has a inexperienced QB that should be making the majority of his passes from the playaction mold ala Manning. Every pass should be out of PA with exception of real long 3rds and 2 minute offense
thus assisting Cam. Hartline, and Bess to get open by that spklit second hesatation of a run. Defensive play calling has to be the major part of the late game collapses OR the guys are gassed in the 4th and the staff didnt rotate the guys enough prior to the 4th.

 

This coming draft will be the determining factor on whether or not we become a perinnal playoff teasm or not. With the likelyhood of a rookie cap in the next yr or 2 there will be alot more declaring for the draft then in yrs past making this a deep draft and the upcomming ones not so.

 

On O we need that #1 wr and maybe a TE and we should be ok assumming R.B. is resigned and not seriously hurt. On defense we need a starting NT and 3 lbs atleast and is clemons isnt the guy a FS to boot. Peezy should be cut and start from scratch on the OLBs playing Wake much more to see if he can become a every down backer. Crowder is ok but we need that stud ILB Rolando McClain | MLB | 6'4, 248 pounds | Alabama is my first round hopeful next yr and considering the depth of draft Jermaine Gresham | TE | 6'6, 262 pounds | Oklahoma

 or even Cody could be had at the top of round 2. No matter the conclusion of this yrs record we need to go all defense in the draft save 1 or 2 picks by either signing that #1 reciever or finding a TE already on the roster

I agree play calling has been pretty bad

but anyway with the rumors of Porter not being a phin next season we could look into a olb,but only time will tell we knew we needed that true number 1 comming into this season but we didnt really go after one so who is to say we will in the offseason,but if the season was over right now I would say we need a WR,TE,OLB,ILB I do hope we go after a proven wideout to help not only our younger receivers progress but Henne as well

We have plenty of TE’s and I agree. The defense has to be solidified. We can score, it takes us forever, but we can do it. The problem is we let opposing offenses do it also, and do it far too quickly. Defense needs more LBs that can go in coverage also. That have the speed. Also a NT for the future becuase Fergy is not getting any younger.
